To respond to demand Oakley started to create limited edition models of sunglasses. So far, the most expensive has been Oakley C SIX sunglasses. Made out of Aluminium and Carbon Fiber, Oakley C SIX looks very much like another limited edition Pit Boss. However C SIX was only made in edition of 1,500. It means that only 1,500 people on this huge planet own it.
Packaging is another reason why Oakley C SIX sunglasses deserves some respect. You probably will never own a pair of sunglasses that came in so many layers of packaging. There is an outer paper box, hard box with nicely cut out foam, inside there is glasses hard case, then your C SIX sunglasses comes with a cloth case. There is nice memorabilia included in the packaging as well such as brochure, CD and a plaque with athlete signatures.
C SIX used to be Lance Armstrong custom made glasses. But more for show than actual cycling as Oakley C SIX is quite heavy. Radar Path was the most favorite for controversial cyclist. C SIX was to wear during promotion appearances.
Before you buy C SIX you better try it for fit. Because of aluminium front sunglasses can not be adjusted. Most of shops will not let you return them either.
Great thing about C SIX is that they are not flashy. There is really nothing for an untrained eye to figure out a real value by just looking at them. They primarily grey, with dark sides and black logo. Nothing too shiny or fancy. It's the feel that you as a wearer will get when wearing them.
Of course. Oakley C SIX sunglasses are made with Oakley polarized lens. So if you are into yachting or fishing they will serve a good purpose. Driving may need some adjustment if you are not used to polarized lens as it can interfere with your windshield cover.
